I love my km130 with the straight shaft edger but it is very heavy. If it weren't for the strap i would not want to use it.. But it did a great job cutting the overgrown edges that i have done with it so far.. Just got it 2 weeks ago.. I actually prefer the 4 mix over my old stihl, they definitly increased the weight though.

I've never owned a stick edger. So why is weight such a big deal if it is riding on a wheel most of the time?
